Stamp Simply Celebration here! Blog Candy too!

Welcome everyone to Day 5 of Sharon's Stamp Simply Celebrates! celebration! Have you been playing along? There is awesome challenges, inspiration, AND blog candy on several of the challenges, like mine today! Today is my day to host a Sketch challenge for you! This is gonna kinda be a long post, so bear with me! First, here is the sketch:

And here is my sample:

And here are some more examples and inspiration for you from lots of the lovely Stamp Simply DT:

I kinda followed Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge today, in not using a traditional Christmas stamp...instead I made that little thingy, that is SUPPose to be like Santa's belly and belt, lol! But then I stuck some traditional Christmas DP on it, so threw it off there for the SS challenge, lol! Notice that I dont even follow my own sketch too closely, lol! As long as you can tell the basic sketch, its all good! So this is my challenge to you...Make a card based on my sketch here. You have until WEDNESDAY DEC. 10th to link your card in this post (you dont have to have a blog to play, but I need to be able to see the picture someway!) and then on Thursday noon I will do a random drawing for my blog candy! Wanna see the candy? Of course you do!

This is a new set from Gina K Designs last release called 'My Cuppa Joe'. I love this set! It is going to be one of my favorites I can tell, so wanted to share something I love with you all. Also, Kellie from Just Rite sent Sharon's DT (I was by proxy last month,lol!) all some wonderful gifts! How awesome is THAT!? And I ended up with 2 of the Special Occasions Font and you will also have a chance to win that along with the stamp set! YAY!!

So, go! Create! And come back and link your creation here for your chance to win! I hope you are enjoying the celebrations! Sharon is such an inspiration to so many of us, and this is my way of honoring her being such an awesome person!

Thanks for stopping by! And dont forget, over on my sidebar is a link to all the Stamp Simply DT, with their awesome creations for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge today!

Awesome card--very creative! Thanks for the blog candy. My Cuppa Joe from GinaK is a great set--I like it too. I just got my first JustRite products so any new font would really be put to use.Have a wonderful Holiday Season--darlene.

Okay, I played along and made my creation, but alas I am so computer illiterate that I don't have a clue how to get it to my computer and then how to post a link too your blog. Love the generous blog candy!

Your Santa Belly/Buckle card is so incredibly creative and unique! I LOVE it!!TFS such great gifts just in time for the holidays too!Here's my take on your great sketch challenge - it was really fun :)

I think I can play along now and play. I'm so glad you have this set from Gina K up for your candy - coffee sets are my absolute most favorites of all - from any company! But since Gina is especially sweet, I really want this one! :)
